The Master Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Our Union managed to get a procurement contract with Eden Springs terminated, and shares in BAE Sytems divested over their connections with Israel. To be honest, I think there's more pressing issues... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have no qualms about eating Nestle products. They taste great.Chastise me. Go on. I'm far too liberal for that I prefer cadbury most of the time anyway, its just if I see an aero or a packet of fruit pastilles I might well buy it. The fact its not there means I will be just as happy with my wispa/dairy milk/crunchie/haribo, yet I wont have contributed to nestle. Unfortunately, nobody has successfully matched aero hot chocolate, and it has the monopoly on condensed milk, last time I checked, all condensed milk in the country was nestle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 All this debate over cigarette sales is doing is making me want a cigarette just now. Anyway, as a serious contribution; smoking is a daft, daft thing to do. My mates got me into it when I was about 16; I held out and refused to have them for a few weeks, but eventually after a night of underage drinking my resolve broke and I ended up having one. Funnily enough, my first ever cigarette didnt make me ill or anything like that. Actually felt quite good, as did the next few when I still got a niccy buzz. Now, though, I pretty much smoke for the sake of it, and these days the only time I enjoy the cunting things is after I've finished something difficult. Still, you can't beat the feeling of satisfaction you get when having a smoke after completing something really stressful, you really can't. I hate people who smoke simply because they think it makes them look cool, though. A mate of mine fits this bill perfectly; to get an idea of what he's like, watch from 2.08 - 2.30.Still, its up to individuals to make their own mistakes and learn from them. My older brother quit smoking when he was 25 or so, so I think I'll probably go down the same route myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worn my Thistle top to uni fairly often, and I have draped my scarf over the computer once before in the reading room, aye. Black hair, about 5'11 if that helps.

Raith Against The Machine Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 It seems that doing my first bit of work of the year is harder than I thought. I just can't be bothered. IT'S ONLY 500 WORDS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second essay, which considering it's only 1200 words in 3rd year which is nothing, is a b*****d. Critically evaluate the below assertion by reference to general housing trends between 1850 and 2000. "The focus of housing law changes according to the political and economic context of the times. It may focus on creating new social housing, or on tenants' rights. Housing law evolves, therefore, in line with the evolving needs of capitalist society." Not anything hard in that, just a pain in the arse having to decide what is important enough to mention! That and I can't be arsed doing it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Aye, what's her name? She was looking at her e-mails the other night and I noticed your name on the class list. Her name's Sarah-Jane, she said she worked with you for something I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Aye well you're in the wrong business pal . Taught Masters means 4x 3,000 word essays (including footnotes) + 15,000 word dissertation. My problem is trying to condense the material and comments into that. So I'd like more... I'm going beyond Masters...in three years time, thou shalt all kneel before me and call me "Doctor" Or something... EDIT TO ADD: By the way I thought you'd ridden off into the sunset? Keegan failed to heed it: "never go back" . I tried to send a follow-up message to the one sent on Friday, but your box is full (if you'll pardon the expression). In a nutshell - 'twas the drink talking Edited November 8, 2009 by Sir Calum Melville 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
